“To understand your fear is the beginning of really seeing.”

Remember no man is really defeated unless he is discouraged.

Defeat is not defeat unless accepted as a reality-in your own mind.

Fear comes from uncertainty; we can eliminate the fear within us when we know ourselves better.

The biggest adversary in our life is ourselves.

To change with change is the changeless state.

In life, what more can you ask for than to be real?

A quick temper will make a fool of you soon enough.

Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.

The height of cultivation always runs to simplicity.

There are no limits. If it kills you, it kills you. A man must constantly exceed his level.

Each moment that passes changes you. You can’t even own yourself. How can you ever hope to own anyone or anything else.

Remember my friend to enjoy your planning as well as your accomplishment, for life is too short for negative energy.

Long-term consistency trumps short-term intensity.

Make at least one definite move daily toward your goal.

What you habitually think largely determines what you will ultimately become.

Practice makes perfect. After a long time of practicing, our work will become natural, skillfull, swift, and steady.

You are something new in this world. Never before, since the beginning of time, has there ever been anybody exactly like you; and never again throughout all the ages to come will there ever be anybody exactly like you again.

Beginning well is a momentary thing; finishing well is a lifelong thing.

God’s LOVE is Like an Ocean; You can See its Beginning, but not its end.

Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end.

The greatest romance is with the Infinite. You have no idea how beautiful life can be. When you suddenly find God everywhere, when He comes and talks to you and guides you, the romance of divine love has begun.

In the beginning, there were no reasons; there were only causes. Nothing had a purpose, nothing has so much as a function; there was no teleology in the world at all.

Hope begins in the dark.

The cadence of suffering has begun. Every evening at dusk, my heart constricts until night has come.
